Local Resident Chases Intruder Away From Car

CHAMBERSBURG — Police are looking for a man who entered an unlocked vehicle in the 500 block of South Main Street on May 31st but fled when confronted by the owner.

The vehicle owner told police for a black male wearing a white tank top and blue shorts was inside the vehicle but did not take anything. 

The intruder fled and was last seen running west on West South St, possibly heading towards the Southgate Mall area.

Police released a surveillance camera image Monday of a man fitting the description of the suspect but stressed he was simply a “person of interest” in the case, not necessarily a suspect.

“The person shown in this photo may have information relevant to an ongoing police investigation,” the news release said.

Police would like to talk to him and are asking the public to either call the station at 717-264-4131 or leave a tip on the department’s CRIMEWATCH® Website if they believe they have information that can assist the police in identifying or locating him.
